@andrearene This is all so fucking insane. Andrea please consider evac’ing early just to save the stress. My sister was in a similar situation over near Altadena and she calmed down considerably after getting out of town

[Ben Silverman @ben_silverman]

Fuck this town, see you over there

@TrickyBricks @jeffcannata Some off-the-charts dissociation, I guess? I’m just so sorry, Flynn.

@jeffcannata My friend, last night I went on Do Not Disturb. I played Astrobot with my son. We watched an episode of The Last Dance. We joked a lot. I slept okay.

I share your disbelief and depression over this nightmare. But maybe the kiddos are exactly what we need to survive this.

How’s your existential dread doing? Mine just took over my body for 25 seconds and made me stare into the middle distance while the nice lady behind the counter patiently waited for me to pick dressing for my salad (went with balsamic vinaigrette, gj dread)

Happy Anxiety Through the Roof As We Helplessly Watch Our Immediate Future Be Determined By a Fraction of the Country Day, for those who celebrate

Quincy Jones was such a giant that the fact that he wrote the greatest TV theme song of all time barely cracks the Top 50 Coolest Shit He Did list. RIP to the realest one

@AgentTinsley @AshleyEsqueda I was on board for three of these traditions. But also as a journo I got a zillion badges every year and would toss them into a box when I got home—and now that I’m out of media and my work legacy is impossible to find online I’m like THIS IS ALL I HAVE NOW

[Ben Silverman @ben_silverman]

@TrickyBricks @AshleyEsqueda I fear I have too many for framing or chainmail. But I love the arts/crafts approach! Is there a way to turn these into Shrinky Dinks?

[Ben Silverman @ben_silverman]

@AshleyEsqueda I have 20 years worth saved in a bin. Throwing them out feels…wrong? It’s like a snapshot of my media career. If you come up with something awesome let me know!

So funny and charming and her performance in Young Frankenstein is an absolute all-timer. Amazing on Letterman too. Huge crush on her as a kid. What a legend. RIP.

@dieworkwear Hi Derek, big fan, quick question: what pants would you pair with these tops? Poor Porky’s shirtcocking and it’s kind of distracting

[Ben Silverman @ben_silverman]

@Steven_Hyden Outstanding work as always, and agree: Wildflowers is his masterpiece among masterpieces. Also an undefeated road trip record. But man we gotta get your stuff on a website that doesn’t crash my phone’s browser every fifth scroll.

@BlondeNerd (It gets worse.)

[Ben Silverman @ben_silverman]

@jonmgibson I haven’t seen this masterpiece of a film in 25 years and gotta fix that ASAP thanks buddy

@adam_orth @oasis @PIXIES Maiden’s still not in, right?

@MJMcKean The tuna melt!

@MarissaRoberto Devs wrap, players finish (or beat)

@russfischer Just when you thought Gary Cherrone was the worst decision Van Halen made

[Ben Silverman @ben_silverman]

@AgentTinsley Hard agree

Well my lady, she went downtown
She bought some…broccoli
She brought it hoo-ooome

And now she’s
